Two weeks into its term, the Biden administration is far from settling on a course of action regarding the Olympics, but mid-level diplomats have begun private discussions with key Western allies about how to handle the Games given the genocide declaration, said a foreign diplomat familiar with the matter.

ISLAMABAD: Barring exceptions, political parties have by and large rewarded their diehard and committed leaders by awarding tickets to them for the March 3 Senate elections.
The loyalty of several of the aspirants is beyond an iota of doubt. They have stood with their respective parties come rain or shine and defended their party’s line regardless of whether it was right or misplaced. Among these loyalists are Shibli Faraz, Saifullah Niazi, Dr Zarqa, Taj Haider, Sherry Rehman, Palwasha Khan, Farhatullah Babar, Karim Khawaja, Pervez Rashid, Mushahidullah Khan, Prof Sajid Mir, Farooq H Naek and Salim Mandviwala.
Some hopefuls for the Senate have been surprisingly left out. They include Muhammad Zubair, Babar Awan and Shahzad Akbar.
A year after the death of KTN news channel and Sindh daily Kawish journalist Aziz Memon the alleged mastermind behind the “well-planned murder” remains at large.
Memon’s death in February 2020 had led to condemnations from the civil society and politicians alike leading to the formation of a joint investigation team (JIT) to investigate the murder. A year after Memon’s death, the prime suspect is yet to be taken into custody although five have been arrested.
On February 16, 2020, the body of the journalist was found in a water channel in Mehrabpur in the Naushahro Feroze district of the Sindh province. According to Dawn, Memon had asked a cameraman he worked with to drop him off at a location where he was to attend a ceremony. His body was later found in the canal by villagers.
